MOBIUS (crime thriller books) by Ann Abrams.

Katherine and Nick go to special parties where anything can happen. Special rules apply and it is a mystery as to who is involved and how extreme the parties become. MOBIUS is a strange novel set in Britain and has an odd mix of characters. There is quite a lot of sex involved, with plenty of BDSM. When things started to go wrong, I thought this novel would follow the lines of a regular crime thriller but I was wrong.

MOBIUS is all about sexuality and society. It explores how people fit in and what drives them sexually, how public opinion is formed and special interest groups work. Fans of Dan Brown should enjoy MOBIUS as there is mystery involving pseudo-religion, rituals, secret societies and symbols. This is an enjoyable novel that you can escape into and at the end you come back into reality as Katherine uses her Oyster card and travels onboard a Transport for London bus. Only you are left thinking, "I wonder if these underground rituals do take place under my nose as London goes about it's daily business".

Ann has written a good novel with plenty of detail to make it real. It is an intellectual read with plenty of depth. This story is about a lot more than a kiss and a cuddle. The plot did not develop in the way I expected but it was a pleasure to read. MOBIUS is a good read if you are looking for escapism and I will vote it 4 stars.

MOBIUS is available as an Amazon Kindle eBook and was written in 2012.
